Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-6
The "telinit u" feature can be used to re-exec /sbin/init,
useful if you've just rewritten (re-installed) /sbin/init.
However, if /sbin/init is on a read-only filesystem,
or you want to redirect init to be running from a different
filesystem because you need to umount /sbin ,
this feature is inadequate.
The attached patch causes re-exec to execute the binary
specified in the INIT_PROG environment variable if it exists,
otherwise the re-exec will be to the same place the currently
running init came from (which is the current behavior).
The INIT_PROG environment variable can be set using
the telinit -e env feature, which already exists. This is why
the INIT_ prefix was chosen -- otherwise telinit -e will reject
the environment change request.
Thanks,

This bug is being closed as part of a cleanup of the old bug
reports in the sysvinit package, in an attempt to make it easier
to address the bug reports which actually are fixable. Some
reasons:
- Not a bug and/or it's a patch which will not be applied
- It will not be fixed, ever for various reasons
- Problem is not fixable in sysvinit or not our responsibility
- A better solution has become available in the interim
- No activity or submitter response in over a decade or more
